The best smartphones 2015 review

The best smartphones 2015: Moto G,iPhone 6 and  OnePlus 2 

With 2015 more than halfway done we've seen a wealth of top-end smartphones seem. These have ranged from camera focused-handsets from Korean heavyweight LG to affordable flagships from Taiwanese Asus.Here to help we've made a classical list detailing 2015's present best smartphones.

Motorola Moto G 2015: The 3rd-gen Moto G continues the series' tradition of offering solid mid-range specs and performance at an entry-level price.










Great Phone for a reasonable price:  This is one of the best sub-$200 phones out right now. The combination of a great build quality, stable operating system and decent camera make it a winner for those who don’t need a high-end device. It is equipped with large capacity battery, and supports a battery replacement. This is a great user friendly phone which functions as great a the top market lines. The screen is easy to read and visable. It's fast, with clear sound quality, and a great camera. Very user friendly and intuitive. 
This is not a flagship phone. I repeat... this is not a flagship phone.
This phone does bring one question up, however: Who needs a flagship phone?
The screen is not 1080p, but rather 720p, yet it is still excellent.

               
great features of the Motorola Moto G 2015:

  • The screen is one of the more disappointing parts of this device. It is 720p, and even with a smaller screen size it is possible to see individual pixels.
  • The touch screen is quick and responsive and the U.I. runs extremely smooth even on the 1GB ram / 8 GB rom version.
  • Capture true-to-life photos with a 13 MP camera that includes a color-balancing dual LED flash.
  • IPX7-rated protection keeps your phone safe from splashes and accidental drops in water.
  •  All battery life claims are approximate and based on a standard mixed use profile. The mixed use profile is based on Motorola devices on major 4G LTE networks with excellent coverage and includes both usage and standby time. Out-of-box settings are applied to the mixed use profile to project batteryperformance. Actual battery performance will vary and depends on many factors including signal strength, network configuration, age of battery, operating temperature, features selected, device settings, and voice, data, and other application usage patterns.
With most budget smartphones some things are sacrificed in order to keep the cost low. Other than the screen, this phone is on par with many of the budget phone specs in its price range. It’s not a phone for power users but most people would be happy with it. The Moto G (3rd Gen) would be a perfect buy for casual smartphone users and those who don’t need all the big specs of a high end device.

iPhone 6 Plus 16GB  (Unlocked)

The first thing I must admit is everything about this phone is amazing. There are no 90* angles, no rough edges, no flaw on the phone. Everything is smooth and looks gorgeous. The screen is crystal clear, it is extremely light, and it just feels great. The size of the screen is massive - it honestly is bigger than you can imagine without actually holding it in your hand. The increase in size over the older models and even the 6 is excellent for watching movies, reading books, surfing the web, using Facebook, and much more. Having the extra screen size allows you to use your email and text app in landscape mode, which is helpful.

Besides the screen size, there are many differences between the 6 and the Plus, some much less noticeable than others. For example, the 6 has 326 ppi (pixels per square inch) while the Plus has 401 ppi. This translates to a "better picture", however most of the time you really won't be able to tell holding the 6 and Plus side by side. 

If you are upgrading from the 5s or older phone, you will notice a substantial graphics, CPU, and wifi speed increase. The 6 and Plus will have identical specs here, but it is extremely noticeable comparing to an older phone. One thing that is significantly more noticeable with older generation phones is how fast the camera focuses and takes pictures. 

Another HUGE difference between the 6 and Plus is battery capacity. Though the 6 boasts a longer battery life than its predecessors, the Plus blows other iPhone's out of the water.


One thing that I cannot stand with the iPhone Plus is the vibrate motor! Because Apple increased its size and power, it is so loud. Mine sounds like something is rattling inside the phone.

As for the camera, wow... you love it.. its particularly good if you know how to Jazz up the pictures using the various filters. --Another feature is being able to use your fingerprint as a pass word...

    Pros:
    The large, clear screen is easy to read and makes it easy to see, read, and display content from photos to websites.
    The large format means a large battery, and the battery life is excellent!
    The operating system, iOS 8.1.3 is very fast and responsive, and things happen quickly.
    There are lots of apps. The iPhone has some apps that are not available on other platforms. Finding them is a bit more difficult; you need to do your homework to find the app you want.

    Cons:
    The keyboard is awful! Even with SwiftKey, it's not very good. The worst thing of all is that it's a basic three row QWERTY that doesn't display numbers or special characters in password fields without hitting the shift key. In these days of complex passwords, it's inexcusable. I'm including comparison photos with a BlackBerry Z30, which automatically shows numbers in password fields. Word prediction is clumsy and slow, and does a poor job or learning your typing style. A simple sentence such as "How are you doing today" takes extra touches of the keyboard compare to the BlackBerry Z30, the gold standard of smartphone keyboards.

    Task Switching. It's clumsy at best. You open an app, and the only way to leave it is to hit the Home button. This takes you to the home page, but doesn't really close the app. In this way, it's very much like the Windows 8.1 phones in that your app is still "open" residing in standby memory in a ready state. Now open another task, then "close" it by hitting the Home key again. To switch between them, you have to hit the Home key twice, then scroll through the list of standy/running apps, and select the one you want. Here again, this is very clumsy compared to the BlackBerry 10.3.1 implementation on the Z30, which offers instant app switching with just the flick of your thumb, Home button thing very clumsy and redundant. BlackBerry's 100% gesture OS is much faster and easier to use.

    Email. In the built-in Mail app, you can't add attachments to emails. To do that, you have to open Photos, select the photo you want, then click the upload button, and select he Mail app from the popup list. You can't add document attachments via the iPhone's Mail app. In the Z30, you can do either. Just click the paperclip attach button when composing an email, and use the built-in file manager to choose any type of file from the phone's memory, SD card, Cloud drive, or PC.

     I won't do a full review, as many other review sites have already covered this phone in detail, but I did want to touch upon some specific areas like as a new consumers .

    Size

    This phone is almost as big as the proverbial elephant in the show floor. This doesn't detract one bit from the phone. I was coming from a 4.1 inch screen, one where I could comfortably get my hands around the screen and phone body (I have small hands), and was pretty petrified of moving to a 5.96 inch screen. But after a few months of owning one, I've gotta tell ya, I don't notice the size one bit. The phone still fits comfortably in a jeans pocket, isn't awkward to use, and I even find myself being immersed in the screen to the point where everything else melts away. More than once I look over to someone next to me to see an iPhone 6+ (which is smaller) and think 'Golly, that's a big phone!' Then I look back to what I'm holding and smugly smirk. The phone's size allows for so much more productivity without being an awkward behemoth.

    Battery Life


    The phone comes with a 3,220mAh battery, and, simply put, this lasts all day for me, and I often come home with 60% left in it. This is over two long commutes sitting on the phone with the screen on for hours.
     Use the Motorola Turbo Charger for a quick burst of power; all it takes is 15 minutes to get up to 6 additional hours of battery life*


    Sound quality

    Front-facing speakers deliver stereo sound that makes the most of video and gaming.Dual front-facing speakers provide some LOUD music and notifications.


    Camera


    The 13 megapixel camera’s image stabilization and HDR+ mode help you take your best possible photos with the least possible effort.


    Speed

    Quad-core 2.7 GHz processor is both fast and efficient.The phone's 3 GB of RAM is more than enough.you have  a LOT of apps running at the same time, and still notice more than 1 GB of free RAM. In a word, you'll never run out. This makes the device feel like it's completely future-proof. The Nexus 5 would always be within 500-700 MB of its 2 GB max.
